I drink my tea hot, but this tea tasted great both hot and cold. The smooth blueberry flavor is distinct but allows the flavor of the white tea to come through as well. There also seemed to be a very subtle creamy taste to the tea, perhaps created by the white tea.

Blueberry Bliss! I love this tea. I gave up sodas and sweets so a cup of this tea with a teaspoon of organic can sugar makes me feel like I'm cheating. It's good hot or cold, but my favorite way to drink White Blueberry is at room temperature.

Very light flavor. I enjoy the fragrance but prefer the white pomegranate. My sister would say that this is her favorite Zhi Tea. The white blueberry tea does have a lovely natural smooth flavor. To each her own.

This tea has a very light smell and delicate taste of bluberries. Not too overpowering or fragrant like other flavored teas. Definitely my favorite white tea.

This tea exactly what I wanted. I like to eat the white buds from the steepings while I drink it, but that might just be me...

Much like the reviewer fontsnob , I too usually avoid "flavored teas" especially when ti comes to White Teas, however this as well as some of Zhia other flavored Teas are balanced just right and have nothing artificial or overpowering about them.
Nice subtle Blueberry taste that does not overpower the flavor of the White Tea Base.
I recommend steeping white teas for 7 minutes though and just make sure the water never boils.

I usually avoid "flavored" teas as most are predominantly artificial tasting and end up leaving unusual aftertastes behind. This is not the case here. Zhi's Blueberry White is a perfect balance of clean, delicate white tea accented by real blueberry. Served over ice, it's perfect for summer. The resulting beverage is delicious, with a great aroma and nice clarity. Avoid the temptation to add sweeteners, they'll overwhelm the cup, just kick back and soak up the natural goodness of this outstanding tea.

Very good, if a bit subtle for my every day tastes.

Holy cow! This is phenomenal tea. I have never had a white tea that is so flavorful and the blueberry flavor is PERFECT.

Basic Steeping Tips
- Use filtered or spring water, whenever possible
- Don’t overboil water
- Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
- If you want stronger tea, use more leaves instead of steeping for a longer time
Leaves can be re-steeped 2-3 times resulting in various flavor differences. Don’t throw out those leaves until they have given it all up!

White tea is sun dried and contains a high amount of antioxidants. Low in caffeine. Heart healthy and has known cancer halting properties.

The base for our White Blueberry is the White Peony tea, also known as Bai Mudan and Pai Mutan. Hailing from the Fuding Country in Fujian Province, the White Peony tea is one of the top ten most famous teas in China. White Peony is made from the buds and leaves of the great white tea plant, leftover after the Silver Needle white tea has been harvested. The leaves are left to dry naturally in the sun and then baked for a short period of time to bring out all the flavor.

Like a flower, the silvery bud is enfolded by green leaves. When steeped, the green leaves unfold and become resembling of a blossoming peony flower, hence the name “White Peony Tea”.

Legend has it that the White Peony tea was discovered by a prefecture chief named Mao Yi during the Han Dynasty. He was an honest man who was disgusted by the corruption around him, so he quit his job and moved to a remote mountain to live with his mother in reclusion. During the harsh winter, Mao Yi’s mother fell sick. Thus, Mao Yi began his search far and wide to find a medicine to cure his mother. One night, a grey-headed immortal came to him in a dream and disclosed that his mother’s illness could be cured by a carp boiled with a new type of tea. Mao Yi broke the ice of the lake to jump in and catch a carp. However, he was stumbled as to how he was going to find a new tea, especially in the winter. Suddenly, 18 peonies in front of him turned into tea plants, with buds coming out like white peonies. Mao Yi picked the buds, headed home and cooked them with the carp. With this concoction, his mother was healed.
